Special Interests: Personal and professional stressors of physicians, post-traumatic stress disorder and adult mental health. Nationally quoted expert in post-traumatic stress disorders. Full-time commitment to the program includes teaching, consultaion, co-counseling and patient mental health services.

Testament: I value being an applied behavioral scientist-one who can integrate behavioral science into the busy family medicine clinical setting. I believe in two guiding principles for my teaching. One is to encourage our residents to become reflective learners who pause to process what they experience; the second is to enable residents to achieve a "critical turn of mind," which is the ability to constructively challenge how we think about the practice of medicine, patients and ourselves.
